Floyd Mayweather agrees to Conor McGregor rematch

Floyd Mayweather has opened up on the possibility of a rematch with Conor McGregor by calling out the Irishman and saying he’ll ‘whip’ the UFC’s stars ‘a**.’

The last time Mayweather was in the ring in a professional fight was against McGregor in August 2017, with ‘Money’ only having an exhibition fight since.

Late last year he revealed that he would be coming out of retirement at some point in 2020 and that he’d be working with UFC president Dana White, opening up about the possibility of him fighting a star from the MMA company again.

Now 43-year-old has called out the Irishman. “Man if they pay I’m there to play,” he told TMZ Sports.

“If they’re paying cash Conor I’ll whip your ass… again

“I do what I do everywhere, I pick up the money I get paid to tell my story.”

I wanted to entertain people. So you know, just lead with that style that I had which was entertaining, it was fun, so that the people enjoyed it. So you have to give people a show, so I gave people a show. If I wanted to go out and f**k him up and blaze him right out the gate, I could have done that. But you know, my thing is if I would have done that, there probably wouldn’t be a part two.”

The Notorious has one win and one loss in his UFC career since returning from boxing. He lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov, who has also been linked with a fight against Mayweather, in October 2018 before another 15-month absence.

He returned in January 2020 to defeat Donald Cerrone in just 40 seconds and has talked about fighting three times this year.

According to reports, McGregor’s next fight is expected to be against Justin Gaethje in the summer, with preliminary talks having already begun.
